Dressing for Joy (and Why Well-Dressed Is a State of Mind) with Dahlia Stroud

What do you wear on the day you've been made redundant? The day your confidence is on the floor? The day you're trying to remember who the hell you are without the job title?This week on The Joy Broadcast, I'm joined by the wonderful Dahlia Stroud, someone I haven't seen for the best part of 15 years, since our Asda House days in Leeds. Dahlia went from Head of Commercial with a full diary and a ringing phone to "here one day, gone the next" overnight. And out of that lost-purpose, all-dressed-up-with-nowhere-to-go season, she built Stressed But Well Dressed, a podcast (and a philosophy) about the link between clothes, confidence, and mindset.This one is for every woman who has ever asked herself, who am I now?  and every woman who already knows that what she puts on in the morning is never really just about the outfit.Favourite moments"I was all dressed up with nowhere to go." — Dahlia, on the season that birthed the podcast"Joy isn't fluff, it's fucking physics.""The opposite of happiness isn't sadness — it's hopelessness.""Dress for the best-case opportunity that could absolutely happen." — Dahlia"Well-dressed is a state of mind, not a fashion statement." — DahliaFind DahliaPodcast: Stressed But Well Dressed , out every Friday, wherever you get your podcastsInstagram: @stressedbutwelldressed_podcastLinkedIn: Dahlia StroudContinue your journey with JOYIf this one stirred something, the question of who am I now, or the quiet wondering about whether you're dressing for the day you're actually hoping for — come and stay close.The Joy Brief  the weekly edit for women who know that joy is the most powerful place to create from, be first to know about the podcasts, Substack articles and exclusive weekly offers.The Joy Rebellion the membership community for women choosing joy as their competitive edgeJoy in HD™  the mastercourse that teaches you your unique blueprint to amplify your JOY and accelerate your success in health, wealth & matters of the heart.alimortimer.com for everything elseRemember, JOY is Just On You.
